my new friend

I finally have a plant. :) But before anyone thinks I bought a cactus because it’s low maintenance, the reason I bought this cactus is because it looks cute to me. I could have bought the more colorful ones and the more flashy ones, but something inside me made me choose this simple, unassuming barrel cactus. I don’t want to give it more meaning than I should, because in the event that it dies I might not be able to handle it. But this cactus will serve as my morning reminder that although life may sometimes be plain and full of thorns, it is never less than beautiful.

Thank you to Jia for accompanying me last night to the wonderful world of Ikea! :D
